Home Decor

Sorry I have been MIA for a while.  Life is very busy right now and I have been very ill so when I get home from work I'm exhausted. 

That said I have made a couple of gifts for my daughter's partner. 

He has a couple of gorgeous dogs who he adores. So these gifts he truly lives. 

I'm also about to begin a new endeavour in my life; I'm going to train in Bowen Therapy. So I have been busy moving my spaces around at home so I can have a therapy table in place for my Guinea-pigs, I mean clients lol. Well not paying clients just yet, it's me who should be paying them for letting me practice on them.  So I made a frame for myself too 

I hope you are all busy with your Halloween and Christmas crafting. 

Take care of you.

Day 5 of my Stampin' Up! Project Life Monochromatic Mini Series

Phew, that is a mouthful of a heading, a bit like a tongue twister lol.  So, welcome to the final day of this mini series.  I have loved making these cards and I hope you have enjoyed seeing them.  So without further adieu here is the Day 5 card.

Back to my signature use of pegs lol, it had to be done didn't it?

I used a silver Sharpie to colour the sticker from the accessory pack and placed this onto some velum. Tim Holtz Ideology stickers have also been added along with sequin from the accessory pack and a silver foil heart to embellish.

Inside the 4x3 card has been layered onto black Bazzill card stock and another heart added to embellish.

I hope you have enjoyed this mini series, I know I have.  Back tomorrow with another card, this one most likely to be full of colour lol.  Take care of you.

Pals Paper Arts Weekly Challenge

Today's card I have made for the Pals Paper Arts weekly challenge using some awesome Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper, which is definitely on my wish list.  I received some from a kind friend as she knows me so well lol.

I used the gold sample and made a tag embellishing this with white bakers twine and a Vintage Designer Faceted Buttons, both from SU.

I used these small gold sequin which were a fantastic purchase at Dunelm Mill for 49p, bargain.  The pink card is Pink Pirouette from SU which has been gold heat embossed using My Favorite Stamps Abstract Background stamp.

I used the reverse of the tag paper which is a fun polka dot and gold glimmer paper from SU and stapled this using my SU mini stapler and used a gold Sharpie to make this gold.  

Using the thin Blueprints 18 die I used some more of the paper to add an accent for the inside layered under a die cut using Die-namics Stitched Rectangle die.

Great fun.  Why not head over to the Pals Paper Arts blog HERE and check out other projects.See you back here tomorrow for another card.  Take care of you.
